Swiss Alpha launches Luxembourg SICAV Fund

22 Feb 2010
Swiss Alpha GmbH based in Pfaeffikon, Switzerland is pleased to announce the launch of a Luxembourg registered SICAV (UCITS III) Fund.

Since December 2009 the fund has been registered for public distribution in Germany.

For a number of years Swiss Alpha based in Switzerland has been managing an alternative investment strategy which generates positive Alpha in most market phases. The proprietary trading strategy is market neutral and is based on the systematic sale of listed equity index options on the EuroStoxx 50 equity index.

The trading system uses a quantitative selection process which permanently selects options whith a maximum maturity of three months offering the greatest probability to expire worthless. The system achieves this in almost 90% of all cases.

Further strategy highlights:

· Almost no correlation to equity and fixed income strategies

· Repeatable and constant returns in almost all market phases: moderately rising, sideways and falling markets

· Very low volatility

· A round the clock risk management

· Ideal portfolio diversifier and stabilizer helps to reduce the portfolio volatility and equity exposure
